Provides a comprehensive picture of motor development

For over 25 years, professionals have relied on the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency as a premier instrument for measuring gross and fine motor skills. "Now, the second edition of this trusted test offers substantial improvements that help make testing easier and more efficient. BOT-2 features new test items and activities, improved equipment, easier administration, and an expanded age range to 21.

Valuable feedback from customers and a thorough review of research provided important direction in revising the Test. The results: BOT-2 is especially well-suited for physical therapists, occupational therapists, adaptive physical education teachers, special education professionals, and others who need a reliable motor skills assessment.

BOT-2 assesses the motor proficiency of all students, ranging from those who are normally developing to those with moderate motor-skill deficits. It can also be used for developing and evaluating motor training programs.

Challenging, game-like tasks

Children enjoy the variety and appeal of the test items. BOT-2 items provide a full range of interesting tasks that measure gross and fine motor skills—maintaining balance while standing on one leg, bouncing a ball, and cutting out a circle are just a few examples.

New administration easel makes testing more efficient

BOT-2 features a completely new administration easel with an easy-to-use layout that gives examiners access to all the information they need on a single page. The easel also provides suggestions to guide examiners in explaining the tasks. For the examinee, large, clear pictures of the tasks being completed help provide a better understanding of the test items, especially for children who have language, cognition, or attention problems.

BOT-2 Fine and Gross Motor Kits

Introducing the BOT-2 Fine Motor Kit and the BOT-2 Gross Motor Kit. Professionals who want to assess only an examinee’s fine motor skills can do so using the BOT-2 Fine Motor Form. Similarly, those who want to assess only an examinee’s gross motor skills can now do so using the BOT-2 Gross Motor Form.

The BOT-2 Fine Motor Form consists of the following four subtests:

Fine Motor Precision

Fine Motor Integration

Manual Dexterity

Upper-Limb Coordination

In addition to the four subtest scores, the Fine Motor Form provides scores on two motor-area composites (Fine Manual Control and Manual Coordination) and a new Fine Motor Composite.

The BOT-2 Gross Motor Form consists of the following four subtests:

Bilateral Coordination

Balance

Running Speed and Agility

Strength

The Gross Motor Form provides scores on the four subtests, two motor-area composites (Body Coordination and Strength and Agility), and a new Gross Motor Composite.

The Supplemental Manual included in the Fine and Gross Motor kits provides instructions for using the BOT-2 Fine Motor Form and Gross Motor Form, as well as technical information on the new Fine Motor Composite and Gross Motor Composite scores.

Scoring

Two options for scoring and reporting the BOT-2 are now available on Q-global.

The first option is to pay per-report. Customers who administer the BOT-2 only a few times each year, or those who want the flexibility to pay only as the assessment is used, may prefer this option.

The second option is to select an "unlimited use" subscription, where one user of the BOT-2 gets unlimited scoring and reporting for one, three, or five years depending on the selected term of the subscription. This may be a better option for customers who administer the BOT-2 several times each year—and don't want to worry about keeping track of their report expenses.

FAQs

Questions

Frequently asked questions follow. Click on a question to see the response.

What is the recommended minimum interval for re-assessment using the BOT-2 family of assessments?

The minimum recommended interval for reassessment with the BOT-2 is 3 months or more.

The test re-test data gathered during development of the BOT-2 show minimal mean differences with an average retest interval of 19-20 days, and average test score differences in the test-retest study are well below the SEms. The differences beyond 2-3 months are likely to represent developmental or skill gains, especially at lower age levels. It is very unlikely that practice effects would influence the BOT-2 scores, since it is a performance based test without a guessing component, and the items are not used for practice during the interval between tests.

Why do you no longer sell software based scoring and reporting using Assist?

In response to customer feedback the BOT-2 is now available on Q-global® - Pearson’s web-based administration, scoring, and reporting system. In line with the Assist software, unlimited scoring subscriptions are available for 1, 3, or 5 years; this is in addition to a per-report price. Please see the pricing section for full details.
